Are you sure you're not think about gasoline. They also dye it here in the states to determine whether road tax has been paid. I think years ago it was purple, now it's red.

BoatBuoy is right on gas coloring.

Re: Oil color question.

I have seen red gas, as well as clear gas. What does the red signify, as far as tax?

Re: Oil color question.

Red Gas is farm use same as purple was years ago.<br /> clear is taxed gas.<br /><br /> I still would like to know the color of the three<br /> XDP-oils.
